    I have come across that word bulbul recently, but I can't recall what it means. It may surface after a while...

    Dammit, my brain was going 'chaffinch' (in the sense of generic bird) and I was ignoring it - but turns out I should have listened - I was reading a book about India recently and that was where I saw the reference - it is in fact a bird.

    So its a bit suspect, but I am going to claim it. :D

    That would be a better answer :D

    Jeanette Rankin was elected in Montana, in 1916. There have been 393 women since!





    An easy one this time (maybe) - the Latin word catulus refers to which animal?

    Keane has it! In the middle of a pandemic and with a Brexit conclusion hovering, the Fisheries minister was organising a parish nativity.

    Your question keane!

    Well done to Keane. I was just going to post that she was trying to get through a heaped plate of mackerel, now that they have so much of it and nowhere to go with it.

    OK here's one. Bitcoin is in the media a lot lately. Can anyone tell me what the name is for the fractions of bitcoins they use? i.e. if this question was about pounds the answer would be pence - what the 'pence' equivalent for bitcoin?

    I'll let you have this I think - it's actually Satoshi but you have the right idea! Satori fittingly is a zen buddhism term for a flash of understanding :)

    Oh heavens, I will do a wild guess. A chain is a reasonably long stretch, at a guess maybe 20 yards, so if links were say 6 to a foot you would have 360. That doesn't sound like a random enough number, but I will throw it in!

    Edit - dammit, so near and yet so far! That genuinely was a guess :D (its not the 360 that is near, there are not really any clues in my answer)
